I wouldn't really say Bobby hurt Soto. From what I remember Soto went at him strong after Bobby hit him with a few good shots.

Yeah I hope this fight happens. I believe Soto is ready for this type of challenge. He's in his prime and should give Pac a tought fight. I would pick Pac to win, but Soto has a chance with his good boxing skills and staight and accurate punching. The only thing is that he leaves himself open sometimes and that usually isn't good against Pac.Comment

I think people aren't giving this bobby the credit he deserves. He was a completely different and good fighter for this fight in comparison to other fights he has had. Probably surprised Soto who was trying to hard to stop Bobby early instead of sticking to a strict fight plan.
Manny P vs Humberto Soto will be highly competitive, and sure there is a high chance that Humberto Looses but Manny wont be leaving the ring unscathed. Manny Pacquiao is not without risk in fighting Soto he too can be hurt and Soto has the power and accuracy to do it.
One thing is for sure though FOTY 2007!!! if its made.Comment

Soto got lucky cuz Bobby fought Soto's fight
Bobby needs to play to his strengths which is stick and move. Jab and box. Choosing to brawl at the wrong time with the wrong opponent is why Bobby loses some fights. Boxers are less inclined to box now because so many fight fans want to see a slug fest and the fighters give them what they went regardless if it is beneficial or not. I think boxing fans need to learn to appreciate the sweet science of boxing provided by current boxers such as Mayweather. A lot of good boxers are losing because they want to give the fans what they want. That's not smart for the fighter nor is it best for the sport to always give the blood hungry fans the type of fight they want. There are 3 types of boxers. Fighters that brawl, fighters that box, and fighters that can do both. Long time boxing fans like myself love the Apollo Creed type boxer that sticks and moves, utilizes the jab, and wears his opponent down. Although, I can still enjoy a good slugfest. I end with the following: To all fighters and potential fighters out there: No need to always please the crowd; JUST DO YOU PLAYA!.............and box....float like a butterfly sting like a bee!Comment
